Tax Diamond delivers effective Technical Assistance to Tax Organizations.
It’s all about getting the right things done at the right time

Brief Introduction

The demands for a modern tax administration are endless, but its capacity and budgets are not, and it is difficult to determine what makes sense now, what has significant impact and what does not. This is where Tax Diamond can help.

Measure

Diamond adequately determines where the organization is lacking in its capabilities, assessing the organization objectively, grounded on existing international good practices, and supported by documented hard evidence

Tools

Tax Diamond produces objective assessments because our methodology allows encoding international good practices in a variety of areas, in a series of indicators that documents how the organization measures up to these good practices in their actual operation. Tax Diamond annotates these measurements with the corresponding hard evidences and organizes them in a way that quickly highlights fundamental limitations, intuitively
Diamond is organized into modules, so that the collective and coordinated efforts of a multiplicity of experts follow the same methodology

Available Modules
